From Mo’s desk

“All beginnings are full of possibility, and beginnings are now mass-produced in Silicon Valley,” writes SJSU Professor of Business Randall Stross in his book The Launch Pad. I am proud to say: San José State powers many of those beginnings.

In Silicon Valley and around the world, the pace of change and an unprecedented access to information are leading to solutions for longstanding problems. But they are also creating new ones. Beyond the startups that Stross writes about, San José State alumni, students and faculty members have embraced the opportunity and the challenges that result from living in a lightening-fast digital age.

These days, we are all juggling more information, but we also have more tools to solve the problems we face. And, thanks to the successful conclusion of the university’s first-ever comprehensive fundraising effort, Acceleration: The Campaign for San José State University, we are poised to make the most of every beginning—and every possibility.

I worry that the University is losing the battle of survival in the 21st Century.

I read about the Academic Senate requesting the assistance of the State University Provost in resolving a conflict with the University Administration.

I read that a university freshman is harassed for three months in a dorm community regarding his racial identification, yet the problem was not identified by the University, until a parent intervenes and reports the problem after trying to reason with the people who are intimidating his son.

I worry that the University even knows how to exist in the 21 Century?
